Uncle Milton's Illuminated Ant Farm Gel Colony
For 50 years ants have thrived in Uncle Milton Ant Farms. In 2007, Uncle Milton enhanced their space age ant habitats with the addition of the Illuminated Ant Farm® brand Gel Colony™. The simplified compact design of the new 2009 Illuminated Gel Colony™ makes ant watching easier and more fun than ever! Maintenance Free… The Illuminated Gel Colony™ is made of transparent polycarbonate which is highly durable as well as beautiful. Filled with translucent lime colored nutrient gel, the Gel Colony™ contains everything you need to maintain a healthy ant colony. (All you add is a supply of ants.) The Illuminated Gel Colony™ even includes an order form to receive a supply of live ants by mail.* With the Ant Farm® Gel Colony™, there is no need to add any supplemental food or water as the gel provides a perfectly balanced diet for your ants. While they have always been easy to care for, now you can enjoy the first truly maintenance free Ant Farm®! New compact design… The new Illuminated Gel Colony™ is the perfect ant habitat for beginning ant watchers. With its thinner size, the Illuminated Gel Colony™ tends to increase the tunnel density, creating a more interesting viewing experience. The new Illuminated Gel Colony™ provides enhanced power source flexibility with the addition of the AC adapter port. Now you can choose to power your LED light bar with batteries or with an optional AC adaptor**. Hours of Fascinating Viewing… Unlike traditional sand filled Ant Farms, the Gel Colony™ is completely translucent, giving you a full 3 dimensional view of the tunnels your ants construct. The nature of the gel produces multifaceted tunnel walls as your ants excavate their passageways, one bite at a time. The resulting 3 dimensional tunnels are a remarkable work of art created by some of nature’s smallest sculptors. The addition of the battery/AC powered LED illuminator provides a light show that totally transforms the intricate tunnels. Learn & Grow… The Illuminated Gel Colony™ makes a great Science Fair project, especially if you are prepared to undertake the adventure of capturing ants from a local colony. If you are fortunate enough to capture a Queen, your Gel Colony™ can be self sustaining, displaying the entire life cycle of the individual ant and providing a study of their interdependent culture. Turn on the LED illumination to attract even more attention to your Ant Farm Science Fair project. Suitable for ages 6+, adult assistance recommended.
